Property Description
Welcome to 128 E. Orchard Street in the heart of Perry. Built in 1903 and lovingly cared for by the same family for more than a century, this remarkable home is rich in history, character, and craftsmanship. If walls could talk, they would tell stories of generations filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch showcases beautiful custom woodwork and vintage pendant lighting, setting the tone for the warmth found throughout.The spacious main-floor primary suite features double closets, a wood-burning fireplace, and a private bath complete with double sinks, tile flooring, a tub/shower combination, and convenient first-floor laundry. The large living room serves as the heart of the home... A warm and welcoming gathering space with plenty of room for holidays, family celebrations, and the Christmas tree that has undoubtedly been the centerpiece of countless cherished memories over the years. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers custom brick accents, a built-in gas range, charming window seat with hidden storage, and double swinging doors leading to the formal dining room. Just beyond, the cozy four-seasons room is surrounded by windows and features the home's second wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect space to relax year-round. The finished lower-level recreation room is warmed by a wood-burning stove, which serves as the home's third fireplace, along with a functional Bilco door providing easy access for firewood and additional storage. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms, a loft area, and a second full bath. One bedroom offers double closets with built-in drawers, while the other features a charming built-in vanity sink and additional storage. Following a burst pipe in February 2021, the home underwent an extensive restoration completed in February 2022, including new drywall, trim, flooring throughout, a new boiler system, water heater, and comprehensive interior renovation, blending modern updates with the homes timeless character. As an added bonus, the beautifully updated apartment above the three-car garage has been licensed by the City of Perry as a rental and offers two bedrooms, one full bath, a spacious kitchen, and comfortable living area. Whether used as an income-producing rental, private guest quarters, or multigenerational living space, it provides exceptional flexibility and value. Opportunities like this are rare...
